The Legend of Kuruk // Avatar Kuruk

Sakashima of a Thousand Faces

Airbender Ascension

How it works

1. Activate Sakashima of a Thousand Faces using Avatar Kuruk's ability by paying 20 minus 1 for each creature and/or artifact you can tap while activating it, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
2. At the beginning of your end step, Airbender Ascension triggers, blinking Sakashima of a Thousand Faces. Choose to have it enter the battlefield as a copy of Avatar Kuruk.
3. Repeat each turn.

This breathtaking loop begins by transforming The Legend of Kuruk into its creature side, Avatar Kuruk, whose powerful Waterbend exhaust ability allows you to pay twenty mana—discounted heavily by tapping your other artifacts and creatures—to take an extra turn. To bypass the once-per-game restriction on that exhaust ability, you bring in Sakashima of a Thousand Faces to enter as a copy of Avatar Kuruk, cleanly dodging the legend rule thanks to Sakashima's own static ability. Finally, Airbender Ascension accumulates quest counters whenever your creatures enter and reliably blinks Sakashima during your end step, resetting its identity so that each new turn grants you a fresh Avatar Kuruk ready to waterbend all over again.
